People Eating People @ High Dive | 12/22 | $6 at the door
At first listen, People Eating People has really interesting piano, a vixen of a lead singer, and a musical package worth talking about. Could I stop there and recommend you going to this show? YES! But there is so much more. Nouela Jonston, lead singer and principal songwriter of People Eating People, has one of the clearest, most accessible voices in Seattle. She has also been playing piano since she was a toddler, and she makes all of her fascinating, expressive hooks sound like child’s play. With such a friendly, poppy voice and unique talent, it would be natural for her to test the mainstream waters, but vixen Johnston takes People Eating People’s music way out into left field, just like a circus.
There is lots of variety to Jonston’s sound. At times, there is a little dark soul, Fiona Apple-esque, that will make the listener swelter. But if you’re in the mood for some high energy sing along music, there will be some of that too. Some of People Eating People’s best stuff is on the angsty side, so if you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, get over to the High Dive tonight; People Eating People have a few songs that will put voice to your inner most hatred.
In the featured song, “I Hate All My Friends,” you’ll get a taste of the intricate rhythm of well-stated rant. “I hate all my friends—every single one. I hate all my friends—every single one. All they ever do is take things from me!” The entire song is a similar rant. Come down to High Dive and get one of the best listening experiences in a live show you can get from a ranting vixen.
